Two challenges for ‘no-norms’ theism
A number of theistic philosophers have recently denied that God is subject to moral and rational norms. At the same time, many theists employ epistemological and inductive arguments for the existence of God. I will argue that ‘no-norms’ theists cannot make use of such arguments: if God is not subject to norms – particularly rational norms – then we can say nothing substantive about what kind of worlds God would be likely to create, and as such, w…
Ottomans in Syria: “Turkish Colonialism”, or Something Else
Syrien unter der Herrschaft der Osmanen bietet Anlass, das Konzept von Kolonialismus zu hinterfragen. Über vier Jahrhunderte hinweg (1516–1918) herrschte das Osmanische Reich über die vorwiegend arabischsprachige Bevölkerung des syrischen Gebiets. Aufgrund der Ansiedlung neuer Bevölkerungsgruppen, der ökonomischen Ausbeutung durch Beamte und der Kooptation von „kriegerischen“ oder „tribalen“ Gemeinschaften in die imperiale Ordnung hat die osmanis…

The Ottoman Cities of Lebanon: Historical Legacy and Identity in the Modern Middle East
Whether defined as essentially ‘Turkish’, and therefore alien to the Lebanese experience, or remembered in its final years as a tyrannical and brutal dictatorship, the period has not been thought of fondly in most Lebanese historiography. In a far-reaching and much-needed analysis of this complex legacy, James A. Reilly looks at Arabic-language history writing emanating from Lebanon in the post-1975 period, focusing on the three main Ottoman admi…
The Development of Sport in Museums
Sport as a topic for museum collection, display, and interpretation has gradually developed over the last 100 years. However, until recently, there has been very little discussion or examination of the material culture of sport within the literature. Consequently, there is a misconception that sport in museums is relatively new, little is understood about the role and value of sporting heritage, and sporting collections are rarely used to inform …
Hem Evrensel Hem Mahalli: 18. Yüzyıl Osmanlı Humus’undan Muhammed el-Mekkî’nin İzlenimleri
Between 1688 and 1722 a resident of the unheralded Syrian provincial town of Homs recorded his impressions of life in the town and its surroundings. Muhammad al-Makki’s account offers glimpses of the worldview of an Ottoman subject who shared the Ottoman Empire’s politically dominant religion (Islam) yet who was firmly grounded in his provincial environment. This rare document from one of Syria’s smaller towns illustrates tension between a pre-mo…
The Curious Case of China’s Aid to North Korea
Nowhere is China’s aid program both more important and yet less understood than with North Korea. This article examines two puzzles: China’s aid to North Korea coexists with a discriminatory trading relationship, and China continues to provide aid even as it tightens economic sanctions on North Korea’s nuclear program
China’s Market Influence in North Korea
North Korea’s deepening economic interactions with China have encouraged the former’s localized trends toward a more market-oriented and externally engaged society. This article compares China’s engagement strategy to South Korea’s “Sunshine Policy” and then assesses China’s transformational influence on North Korean institutions, cross-border cooperation, businesspeople, and consumers
A Wave to Worry About? Public opinion, foreign policy and China's anti-Japan protests
Comparing China's 2012 anti-Japan protests against three previous rounds of anti-Japan protests in 1985, 1996 and 2005 reveals a cyclical pattern, best characterized as a wave of popular mobilization. In each case, external events sparked a swell of public anger and activism which Chinese leaders initially tolerated before cooling. This pattern of contained contention has not led to Beijing loosening control over its foreign policy. However, the …
China and Japan in Myanmar: Aid, Natural Resources and Influence
This article highlights the parallels between Japan’s leveraging of foreign aid to secure access to strategic natural resources in the post-World War II period, and China’s similar use of foreign aid since the early 1990s. It then shows how both countries have applied similar strategies in their aid programs in Myanmar, and points out how dramatic shifts in Myanmar’s domestic politics have shaped their opportunities for economic engagement. China…

Ottoman Syria: Social History Through an Urban Lens
A body of work on the social history of Ottoman Syria has developed in the years since 1980, written largely from the perspective of the region’s cities. Material from the interior towns of Aleppo, Damascus, Hama, Nablus and Jerusalem all has contributed to the literature. This article highlights major issues broached in the international scholarship. Topics include social bases of political factionalism, histories of elites and commoners, famili…
China's Unilateral Sanctions
Who's Afraid of the Dragon? Asian Mass Publics’ Perceptions of China's Influence
In what countries and among which individuals in Asia is China's influence seen as least favorable? Drawing upon AsiaBarometer survey data from 12 Asian societies between 2006 and 2008, this study tests a series of hypotheses aimed at identifying those variables that most consistently predict individuals’ perceptions of China. With the exceptions of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam, a clear plurality or a majority of respondents in each pol…
Strong Society, Smart State: The Rise of Public Opinion in China's Japan Policy
The rise and influence of public opinion on Chinese foreign policy reveals a remarkable evolution in authoritarian responses to social turmoil. This book shows how Chinese leaders have responded to popular demands for political participation with a sophisticated strategy of tolerance, responsiveness, persuasion, and repression—a successful approach that helps explain how and why the Communist Party continues to rule China. Through a detailed exam…

Ottoman Beirut: Crisis, History, and Sectarian Memory
History writing is a powerful tool in the construction of collective memory. Typically in postcolonial states, history is linked to a national project. Methods and tropes of national history writing aim to create or reinforce a sense of shared identity rooted in past experience. Particular historical actors are valorized and emphasized, as they become protagonists of the national narrative. Often the outlines of the present-day state are anachron…
A Norm-Taker or a Norm-Maker? Chinese aid in Southeast Asia
As China expands its development assistance in Southeast Asia, is Chinese aid beginning to emulate international norms and practices or sustaining its own distinct approach to development assistance? This essay argues that China's socialization into international norms varies with the thickness of the institutional environment. In Laos and Cambodia, China's enhanced collaboration with international consortia, improved transparency, and project di…
Remember History, Not Hatred: Collective Remembrance of China's War of Resistance to Japan
Chinese leaders have repeatedly insisted upon the contemporary relevance of the 'War of Resistance to Japan' (1937-1945). However, the content of the official history of the war and the lessons drawn from it have changed dramatically from 1949 through 2010. This paper begins by reviewing theories of collective remembrance and then covers four historical periods: China's 'benevolent amnesia' on Japan's wartime atrocities before 1982; China's patri…
Selling your self? The psychological impact of street sex work and factors affecting support seeking: The psychological impact of street sex work
Previous research investigating the risks of female street sex work has tended to focus on the most tangible risks to physical health and safety. This is reflected in the provision of support services for sex workers, where these aspects are prioritised. There is little research focusing solely on the psychological risks of sex work. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceived psychological impact of street sex work and factors that aff…
The Tenuous Hold of China Inc. in Africa

China's History Activism and Sino-Japanese Relations
This essay explores the emergence and impact of populist "history activism" in China. History activism includes museums and academics documenting Japanese wartime atrocities in China, the redress movement demanding compensation for Chinese victims and popular protests against Japan over a range of issues. While the Chinese state played a central enabling role in the emergence of history activism in the early 1990s, activists have subsequently mob…

Sovereignty, intervention and peacekeeping: The view from Beijing
For the Chinese leadership, defence of a 'thick' notion of sovereignty serves to enhance its legitimacy, deflect criticism of its domestic policies and to resist outside involvement in the Taiwan issue. Yet, since the People's Republic initially opened up in the 1970s, China's strict sovereign prerogatives have gradually eroded. Today, the nexus where defence of Chinese sovereignty meets the imperative of engaging the outside world defines both t…
China's History Activists and the War of Resistance Against Japan: History in the Making
In China over the past two decades, a group of “history activists” has maximized its professional independence, social credibility, academic resources, and international connections to usurp many traditional roles of the state in building new institutions and engaging in activism aimed at documenting and disseminating information on Japan's wartime atrocities

The Peasantry of Late Ottoman Palestine
During the final seven decades of Ottoman rule in Palestine' the country underwent significant changes. Urbanization, the growth of commerce with Europe and foreign colonization, phenomena which were interrelated, all left their mark. But alongside these changes there was one major constant from the 1840's till 1914: throughout these years the vast majority of Palestine's people were Muslim Arab peasants living in villages. As late as 1922, when …

Inter‐confessional relations in nineteenth‐century Syria: Damascus, Homs and Hama compared
This article examines relations between Muslims and Christians in Syria during the later Ottoman period in light of social science literature on ethnicity and ethnic conflict. It argues that the social science literature illuminates the historiography of this question by bringing to the fore historians’ underlying assumptions about religion and ethnicity. By comparing three Syrian towns with contrasting histories of inter‐communal relations, the …
